The Obama administration on Tuesday brought a fresh challenge to China’s anti-dumping duties on U.S. broiler chicken products at the World Trade Organization in an effort to bring the long-running trade dispute to a close.
The U.S. Trade Representative’s office said it is making claims that China’s anti-dumping and countervailing duties violate WTO rules, partly because China failed to properly calculate U.S. poultry production costs.
China also failed to conduct transparent investigations and breached WTO rules in its finding that U.S. poultry exports have injured Chinese producers, USTR said. The complaint seeks consultations with Beijing on the matter.
